Tribe vs Braves (Series Thread)

Goodness. 5 walks in the 9th and the bases are loaded again.

Tribe gives it away. Lose 8-7

Inexcusable to lose that game. You have to pull guys before they walk the bases loaded.

Cimber had been great this year, though. So I get the hesitation. 

Wtf happened? Smh.

That was awful.… Complete lack of focus after the second inning. Only Bauer had his head into that game.  The bullpen wears the goal horns but the offense rightfully shares blame for the defeat. Tito needs to read those guys the riot act.... in the majors you’re expected to play the full 9 innings.

3rd inning and face palming. 

Last 5 innings have been a nightmare 

And Plawecki gets them 1-2-3 in the 9th!

fuck Josh Donaldson

Yeah, I thought Donaldson was being a real ass.

From Mandy Bell at Indians.com:

"Roberto Perez was putting down some signs behind the plate.

“I couldn’t see them all that great,” Plawecki said with a slight chuckle. “I just told him I was throwing fastballs, so it didn’t matter what he was putting down. They were all going to be the same thing.”

"Just go out there and try to throw strikes, not walk anybody."   Plawecki said. “My only thing is they can hit as far as they want, don’t hit it at me.""

I watched the Reds lose 7 games in a row and then swept the Marlins by a combined score of 21-1 over the 3 game series....maybe it wasn’t a wow but I also added “but baseball”, which certainly lessens    the wow.
